Stellantis Faces a 14% Revenue Drop in Q1 2025 Amid Tariff Uncertainties and Lower Shipments

Stellantis Reports Significant Revenue Decline

Stellantis announced on Wednesday that its net revenues for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to €35.8 billion, marking a 14% decrease compared to the same period last year. The primary reason behind this downturn was identified as lower shipment volumes.

Challenges in Shipments and Market Guidance

The company experienced a 9% year-on-year drop in consolidated shipments, totaling 1.2 million units. In light of "tariff-related uncertainties," Stellantis has decided to suspend its 2025 guidance. The automaker is actively engaging with governments to navigate these challenges and adjust its production plans accordingly.

Early Signs of Recovery and Regional Performance

Despite the decline in Q1 revenues, CFO Doug Ostermann highlighted initial progress in commercial recovery efforts. "North America is showing early signs of improvement with increased retail order intake, and we're observing a sequential improvement in EU30 market share. Additionally, our 'Third Engine' regions have collectively achieved positive year-on-year growth in Q1 2025," Ostermann stated.
